Deployment models
Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise is designed to be deployed as a virtual appliance for a variety of supported hypervisors
(VMware, Hyper-V, and KVM). In general, it can be used in environments that support loading the VMDK or VHD formats.
For more information about deploying OME, see the deployment whitepaper at Deploy Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise Virtual
Appliance on Different Hypervisors.
Security profiles
Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise is configured by default to ensure secure user interactions with the appliance. Customers
need to configure the 'admin' user password through the TUI (Text User Interface) to access the OME User Interface(GUI) or
rest APIs.
By default, the SSH service is disabled (not user configurable) and interaction with the appliance is limited to using the web
UI or REST APIs. Also, OME redirects all HTTP requests to HTTPS and ensures that only secure encrypted connections are
established with the OME appliance.
Enabling HTTPS Redirection
HTTP to HTTPS redirection redirects web server communication from HTTP port (default is 80) to HTTPS port (default is
443). This ensures that only secure encrypted connections are established when clients connect to OME. HTTPS redirection is
enabled by default and is not user configurable.
